    One of the vehicles we tested this week was the 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GLB35. This compact crossover has 302 hp, third-row seats, and loads of tech, and it’s quite reasonably priced at about $50,000.

    Another vehicle we tested was Aston Martin’s new DBX. Yes, it’s a bit strange that an automaker famous for sports cars is now selling a crossover, but the vehicle offers all the performance and style you expect of an Aston Martin and throws in some practicality, too.

    Mercedes-Benz will have eight EQ-badged electric vehicles in its lineup by the end of 2022, and two of them will be SUVs built in the United States. Production will take place at Mercedes’ plant in Alabama where a new battery center has just been built.

    With the 2020 Formula One World Championship now over, Mercedes-Benz AMG’s star driver, Lewis Hamilton, is now free to help put the finishing touches on the company’s One hypercar. It’s due in 2021 and only 275 will be built.

For instance, the race car features a rear wing with swan necks struts, a design that will also make it to the road car, albeit in tamer form.

  • Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport, Lego McLaren, Gordon Murray T.50s: Today’s Car News

    Money can buy horsepower and speed. Thankfully, it can also buy plenty of gas. The 1,480-hp, track-focused Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport has received EPA fuel-economy ratings, and it’s no surprise they’re atrocious. At 8 mpg city, 13 highway, and 10 combined, the Chiron Pur Sport will drink fuel as fast as it blasts down the pavement.

    The McLaren Senna GTR has been immortalized in Lego form. The British automaker gave its blessing for the latest Lego Technic kit, which will go on sale in January 2021 for $49.99. That’s a relative bargain considering the Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 kit costs $379.99.

    Gordon Murray Design Technical Director Frank Coppuck has confirmed that two T.50 supercars will be crashed in the name of safety. Only 11 prototypes are slated while the production run calls for just 100 cars. Crash testing is one of the necessary steps every road-legal car needs to undergo to be certified.
